Mumford & Sons bringing 2-day Gentlemen of the Road fest to St. Augustine in September

Mumford & Sons

Grammy nominees Mumford & Sons will bring their Gentlemen of the Road festival to St. Augustine in September.

The event will be Friday, Sept. 13, and Saturday, Sept. 14, at Francis Field in downtown St. Augustine.

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Willy Mason will play Friday evening. Saturday’s acts are Mumford & Sons, fun., the Vaccines, Bear’s Den, Half Moon Run and Those Darlins.

The tour’s website, gentlemenoftheroad.com, says last year’s Gentlemen of the Road Tour was “conceived as a Victorian traveling circus” that “combines a music festival and local gathering into one epic party, starting early and going late.”

St. Augustine is one of four stops for the tour, which will also play Lewes in the United Kingdom; Simcoe, Ont.; Troy, Ohio; and Guthrie, Okla. “The Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers are all about live music,” the band said in a news release. “We get to put them on in towns not normally frequented by touring bands in buses or splitter vans. We deliberately look for towns that have something unique, or some vibe of which they are proud, explore them and enjoy what they have to offer.”

General admission tickets are $109, which covers both days. They go on sale at 11 a.m. Friday through gentlemenoftheroad.com.
